Berklee Alumnus and Professor Nominated for 2017 Tony Awards

A Berklee alumnus and a professor have been nominated for 2017 Tony Awards in the Best Orchestrations category.

Alex Lacamoire B.M. ’95 is nominated once again for his work on the musical of the moment, this time for Dear Evan Hansen. Lacamoire won a Tony award last year for his orchestration work with the megahit Hamilton, and won his first in 2008 for orchestrating another Lin-Manuel Miranda musical, In the Heights.

This year, a number of Berklee and Boston Conservatory at Berklee alumni performed in many of the top Tony-nominated shows, including Dear Evan Hansen, Indecent, Falsettos, Hello Dolly!, Miss Saigon, and Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812.

The Tony Awards ceremony will be held on June 11 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
